Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote a text in
Medium.com reported to nationalism in the United States to speak. "It is
disheartening to see the intolerant discourse in the news," said Pichai.
He himself had come as an immigrant in the United States and still sees it as a
"land of opportunity." The tolerance and acceptance, the new
Americans will put contrary, was one of the greatest strengths of the country.
"And this is no coincidence - America is ultimately a nation of immigrants," said Pichai further.
Although the possible Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump is not mentioned directly, the text should be understood
as a reaction to its partly very nationalistic and Islamophobic statements.
Pichai is not of some prominent name of the tech world, which manifests itself
to the debate. Even Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos took already, more or less
directly to Trump disputed commentaries position.
According to Pichai it important that all
those who are not affected by xenophobic attacks, speak out openly against it.
" Let’s not let fear defeat our values. We must support Muslim and other
minority communities in the US and around the world. "
